UNPACKING THE HEAT PACKAGE
Remove the heat package from the shipping carton. The
heat package must consist of the following:
1. Basic heater enclosure with controls and installation
instructions.
2. Plastic bag containing (1) 230 V terminal block, (1)
grounding lug, (4) #10-16 x ½" screws, (2) #8-16 x 1"
screws, (1) #10-24 x ½" screw, and (1) wire tie.
INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect all power supplies to the air conditioner or
heat pump.
2. Remove the control panel service door and heater access
door.
3. Remove the four (4) #10-16 X ½" screws, which secure
the electric heat cover plate (blank off plate). (See
Figure 1.) Remove the electric heat cover plate from the
blower partition and discard.
4. Carefully insert heater package through the opening
provided in the blower partition. Guide the heater
package into the opening being careful to align the
locating pin(s) or the heater(s) in the dimpled holes
provided in the rear of the blower partition.
5. Line up the four (4) holes in the heater control panel
with the four (4) pre-punched holes in the blower
partition and secure the heater package to the blower

IMPORTANT
A separate power supply must be provided for
use with any optional heater package. DO
NOT attempt to connect a heater package with
a basic unit to a single power supply.
Remove the unit control panel cover and the inner 4¼" x
7¾" cover. By removing this cover, an isolated area is
exposed. Install the high voltage terminal block. Use the
two (2) #8-16 x 1" screws provided. Install the grounding
lug, using the two (2) #10-24 x ½" screws into the pre-
punched holes supplied.
Route the line voltage power circuit wires from the heater
package through the bushed hole in the unit’s center
partition to the newly installed high voltage terminal block.
Inspect all wiring for damage and secure any loose wiring
with the enclosed wire tie. See Figure 2 for completed
assembly. Replace the terminal block cover, control box
cover and blower service door.
Energize both power supplies and check for proper system
operation.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Connect the wires exiting the bottom of the heater package
into the unit circuit by plugging in the plastic snap lock
fitting into the mating fitting located on the rear of the
control panel.
